Heaven is earth
Earth is heaven,
walls do not separate
But our imagination segregate.
Thoughts create heaven
Out of illusions,
seeing 'what is'
Is heaven,
distorting is hell.
Heaven is not a place
Where damsels play,
where unlimited joy abounds
Pleasure and pain relative,
one does not stand without other.
Pursuit of pleasure is hell
albeit choiceless awareness is blessing
Thoughts behind transform
One state into another,
.
.
.
analogous to water
That exists as ice, liquid and vapor.

One stae contains all states

A solid, well constructed poem that was heavier on the philosophical take and less on concrete details.
This is a very smooth write.
Blessings,
